This is a widespread but mainly West-Palaearctic species (Lienhard & Smithers 2002). In central and northern territories it is almost exclusively found in association with human habitation (Lienhard 1998) whereas in the South it is associated with the bark of trees and leaf litter.	en	Lienhard, Charles, Mifsud, David (2015): Psocids from Malta (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘ Psocoptera’), with new synonymy for Peripsocus stagnivagus based on the discovery of its first Palaearctic male.

Notes. A new record for the Maltese Islands. Only females of this almost cosmopolitan parthenogenetic (thelytokous) species have been collected in Malta; males are extremely rare (Lienhard 1998). The species is often abundant on the bark of various trees and woody shrubs, in herbaceous leaf litter and sometimes in human habitation (Lienhard 1998).	en	Lienhard, Charles, Mifsud, David (2015): Psocids from Malta (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘ Psocoptera’), with new synonymy for Peripsocus stagnivagus based on the discovery of its first Palaearctic male.

Notes. A new record for the Maltese Islands. The Maltese population of this species apparently reproduces by thelytokous parthenogenesis, as do most Nearctic populations of P. stagnivagus (Mockford 1971). By chance, one male was found among the almost 600 females collected from Malta, as occasionally happens in obligatorily thelytokous psocids (see Lienhard 1998: 45). No morphological differences were found between the Maltese male and the Nearctic male of P. stagnivagus; the latter was well described and illustrated by Mockford (1993). Lienhard (1998: 262) stated that the females of P. b i v a r i, described by Baz (1988) and redescribed by Lienhard (1998), and P. leleupi, described by Badonnel (1976), cannot be distinguished either from each other or from the North American P. stagnivagus; the female of the latter was described by Chapman (1930) and redescribed by Mockford (1993). Based on the discovery of the first Palaearctic male of P. stagnivagus, the synonymy of these names is here formally proposed.	en	Lienhard, Charles, Mifsud, David (2015): Psocids from Malta (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘ Psocoptera’), with new synonymy for Peripsocus stagnivagus based on the discovery of its first Palaearctic male.

This is a rather uncommon species but is widely distributed in the West Palaearctic Region, with records from Morocco, Algeria, Italy, Macedonia and France (Lienhard 1998); it was recently found also in Sweden (Svensson & Hall 2010). It is a cortical species that lives on various trees and shrubs, especially on those having deciduous leaves. The variability of colouration in M. fuscifrons has been discussed by Lienhard (1998). The Maltese female shows the typical dark frontal pigmentation and the dark brown sub-basal transversal ring on the tibiae; and the V-shaped patches on the eyes are very distinct, as figured by Lienhard (1998: fig. 113 c) and Svensson & Hall (2010: figs on pp. 148 - 149). The colouration of the eyes is identical in the male nymph but the dark frontal pigmentation and the sub-basal tibial rings are less distinct than in the female.	en	Lienhard, Charles, Mifsud, David (2015): Psocids from Malta (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘ Psocoptera’), with new synonymy for Peripsocus stagnivagus based on the discovery of its first Palaearctic male.

Notes. A new record for the Maltese Islands. This is a predominantly Mediterranean species but is occasionally found also in the Nearctic Region. It is associated with the foliage of different trees and shrubs but is rarely found on conifers (Lienhard 1998).	en	Lienhard, Charles, Mifsud, David (2015): Psocids from Malta (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘ Psocoptera’), with new synonymy for Peripsocus stagnivagus based on the discovery of its first Palaearctic male.

A new record for the Maltese Islands. It is a West Palaearctic species associated with bark of various trees and shrubs and occasionally found in piles of stones. The intensity of forewing colouration of the Maltese specimens is somewhat variable, corresponding to the medium- or relatively weakly-coloured forms described by Lienhard (1998: fig. 137 b, c). However, a certain number of small patches are always present all over the membrane, in addition to the basic wing pattern consisting of a few larger pigment patches. The pale form described by Lienhard (1998: fig. 137 d) from Greece, almost completely lacking the small patches, was not observed in the Maltese material.	en	Lienhard, Charles, Mifsud, David (2015): Psocids from Malta (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘ Psocoptera’), with new synonymy for Peripsocus stagnivagus based on the discovery of its first Palaearctic male.
